    At least you have the guts to say it.  I would encourage you to do a modicum of research about prevailing stereotypes in the depiction of black people in the news and media, a topic which has decades worth of research for your consideration.  Or you can take a look at sentencing disparities between blacks and whites.  If you're still convinced that the white man can't get a fair shake in America then we can agree to disagree.

    I would encourage you to do some research as well. FBI table 43 gives a racial breakdown of crimes each year by race. These stats are from every police agency in the country which are required to submit a UCR (Uniform Crime Report). A rough breakdown is that black men make up just over 6% of the population but commit approximately 55% of violent crimes.

    Because there has been an increasing sensitivity to not showing, or glorifying the cowards who perpetrate these horrific acts.  The media finally learned their lesson after the wildly irresponsible coverage of Columbine and VA Tech.  Coverage now focuses on the victims instead of the losers.  

    No, that's not the reason.

  3. I was born and raised in Rochester and lived on the Mississippi Gulf Coast for 25 years. I moved back to Rochester about 4 years ago so I have a pretty good perspective on the two places. Most people who trash Mississippi, including on here, have never even been there. They get their information from tv and movies and assume its just a bunch of white dudes in pickups chasing a black guy trying to beat him. It's not like that at all, the Gulf Coast of Mississippi is nicer than anywhere in western NY. My fathers family is from Bath, NY and I can assure you that driving around the southern tier you will see twice as many confederate flags as in MS. Any black person who has lived in both places will tell you that the racism in the north is way worse than in the south.

  4. The ref saying "the ball was fumbled forward out of bounds, therefore it will be returned to the spot of the fumble" is saying the Bills didn't recover it in bounds which we all saw was ridiculous. No one can see if it touched his helmet or not. The lack of an actual explanation even now leads me to believe that they were trying to keep the Steelers in the game at that point.

  5. Everyone saying they saw the ball hit is helmet is incorrect. There was never an angle that showed if it did or didn't hit his helmet. Thats not what the ref called though, he said " the ball was fumbled forward out of bounds therefore it will be returned to the spot of the fumble". This indicates that he wasn't calling that it hit his helmet while he was out of bounds, it's indicating that it wasn't recovered in bounds. This was obviously incorrect as the replay clearly showed a recovery by the Bills in bounds.

  6. This was the easiest part of the schedule and we look terrible. I wonder if McDemotts voice has gotten stale in the locker room. They play with no intensity, they can’t tackle at all and after every bad offensive series Josh just sits there on the sidelines, no coaching, no tablet, nothing. Allowing a swing pass on the first play of the final series to go for almost 40 yards is really poor.
